http://yankees.lhblogs.com/2008/04/21/the-bronx-zoo-open-for-business/ If Brian Cashman is the GM of the Phillies or Nationals or some other team next season, remember this day. 如果Cashman下一季变成费城人、国民队、或其他球队的经理, 请记得这天。 Hank Steinbrenner told the New York Times that Joba Chamberlain needs to be in the rotation now. As in right now. 小老板告诉纽约时报，Chamberlain必须现在就在先发轮值里，「现在」。 That’s fine. Then by Aug. 15 when he has reached his innings limit, Kei Igawa can take over. Or maybe on July 15 when he has Tommy John surgery. The Yankees have a plan to transition Joba into the rotation and it doesn’t call for a rash move on April 21. 那好。那麽在8/15前，当Chamberlain达到整季局数上限时，井川庆就可以接他的位置， 或者也可能在7/15那天动刀进行韧带重建手术。洋基对Chamberlain从牛棚移到先发是 有一套计画的，这计画并不是鲁莽地在4/21把他拉进轮值。 Then this from Hank: “The mistake was already made last year switching him to the bullpen out of panic or whatever. I had no say in it last year and I wouldn’t have allowed it. That was done last year, so now we have to catch up.” 小老板说：我们上季犯了一个错误─把他放在牛棚。我去年没评论甚麽，也不该允许 这件事。那已经发生了，所以现在得修正。 That’s fine, as well. The alternative would have been trading prospects for Eric Gagne then not making the playoffs. That sounds like a good plan. Or continuing to use Kyle Farnsworth in the eighth inning. How did that work? 那也好。这样去年的替代方案就会是拿新秀换Gagne然後打不进季後赛，那听起来是个 好计画。或者继续让Farnsworth投第八局─那怎麽行呢？ It’s a simple math equation. Joba pitched 89 innings for Nebraska in 2006 because he was injured. Therefore, his innings in 2007 had to be carefully monitored to minimize the risk of further injury. Because he was so successful as a minor-league starter, Joba would haave reached his innings cap in August. 这是一个简单的数学等式。2006年Joba在Nebraska因伤只投了89局，因此，为了使 进一步受伤的风险降到最低，他在2007年的投球局数被小心翼翼地控管。因为他在 小联盟的先发是如此成功，Joba早该在八月份就达到局数限制。 So to fill a need in the majors and give the kid more experience, he was temporarily made into a reliever. Joba finished the season with a total of 116 innings. 因此，为了填补当时洋基的需求并给那个孩子更多经验，他暂时担任救援，整季结束 一共投了116局。 Now he can probably pitch about 150 innings this season. Any more and you greatly increase the odds of injury based on a number of studies of pitchers in their early 20s. Perhaps you have heard of Francisco Liriano, Mark Prior, etc. 现在本季他大约能投150局。根据一些针对20出头的投手做的研究，投得更多等於是 大大地增加受伤的变数。也许你已经听过Francisco Liriano, Mark Prior等人的故事。 So the Yankees will start Joba in the pen, use him for one or two innings at a time and then put him in the rotation in July. It’s really not that complicated. 所以洋基在一开季把Joba放在牛棚，一场比赛投个一两局，然後在七月份再放进先发里。 这个计画一点都不复杂难懂。 Why Hank would cause such problems for Cashman and Joe Girardi this early in the season isn’t clear. But the Steinbrenner family owns the team and they can do whatever they want. 小老板这麽早就给Cashman和Girardi制造问题的原因不明，但Steinbrenner家族拥有 球队，他们可以做任何事。 Cashman has already said today that Joba would remain in the bullpen and they will follow the plan in place. I would imagine Hal Steinbrenner has been called in to try and add a little reason to the mix. 今天Cashman已经说Joba会留在牛棚，继续照原定计画走下去。我可以想像Hal Steinbrener 已接到试着跟他解释这个混合方案的电话了。 But if this sort of exchange is going to define how the Yankees are run, why would Cashman stick around? One thing for certain: the 29 other teams love it. 但如果这样的高层往来正定义洋基运转的方式，为何Cashman还留在这呢？一件确定的事 是：其他29队绝对爱死这个剧场。 --
